The 1992–93 NBA season was Indiana's 17th season in the National Basketball Association and 26th season as a franchise. In the offseason, the Pacers acquired Pooh Richardson and Sam Mitchell from the Minnesota Timberwolves. They continued to play mediocre basketball finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record, winning a tie-breaker over the Orlando Magic for the final playoff spot. Reggie Miller tied in first place in the league with 167 three-point field goals, and Detlef Schrempf who averaged 19.1 points per game was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. However, in the first round of the playoffs, the Pacers would lose in four games to the New York Knicks. This was the fourth consecutive year that the Pacers lost in the opening round of the playoffs. Following the season, Schrempf was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics, and head coach Bob Hill was fired.
